I escaped into the Peace Corps to find worth in myself and my life. To give my life meaning. To get away from his cruel words and insistent jabs. Four years later, I’m back from a village in Africa, stronger, slimmer, and an all-around better me. When I get home, I learn my dad remarried. No worries, he deserves to be happy. Except my new step brother is none other than the wonderful (sic) Kaden Volt. His first words to me? “I guess not everybody in Africa was starving.” Let the war begin. This sweet, taboo tale is intended for readers 18+ and is roughly a forty-five minute read.
